Are there going to be fire-breathing dragons this year??? I saw the pics and they were cool!!!

[Jun Fan]

Hey, I think you know my Shifu, Sean Marshall at Jing Ying. I'll probably see you at the tournament. I don't know if I'll compete in anything, but I'll most likely be there anyway.

Green cloud CLF:
although everything went well, i think the college would prefer no fire this year:) we are working on something that may require the assistance of the local fire department though.

Jun Fan:
yes sir, your Sifu and i go way back to the NACMAF. As a matter of fact i just talked to him a few days ago. he's one of the best Northern Sifus out there.

Jun Fan,

Yes, I know your Sifu. We both used to compete together (different divisions, North/South) back in the days of NACMAF.

Check this out!

Left to Right: Sifu David Ross, Sifu Sean Marshall, Sifu Michael Parrella (me), Grandmaster Chan Tai-San.

This was in the tea gardens in San Fransisco, in 1990 I believe.

Tell your Sifu that I said, "Hi" and I restored the pics he sent me awhile ago. I will send them back to him..minus all the scratches and stuff.

That pic is from before he grew the dreads. :)

Sifu Tai-Lik,

I would like to attend your tournament with my schools. Can you send me out an info packet? Do you have any posters promoting the event? We have about 40-50 students that I know of who are planning on attending, and we're preparing a small team (15 people or so) for the competition. I've heard nothing but great stuff regarding your tourny, and I look forward to being a part of it.

Shifu Marshall says "Hi" back. :)

He was very excited to see that picture. He started telling stories about competing "back in the day". He also talked a lot about your Master. Sounds like he was a very interesting guy.

Sifu Sean Marshall is a good guy.

Think I was a bit hard on Sifu Sean on here before (year or 2 ago), was a bit quick to criticize when I thought my friend's sifu was getting bashed. Just wanna take the opportunity to say that he's a good guy and sifu.



Hope the tourney goes well this year Tai Lik; last year looks like it was a ton of fun!

[Tai-Lik]

Thanks Pork Chop!
